[CQ-Contest] FT-920 - IC-718

[Steve London]

Bob,

The FT-920 is a contest-worthy radio.  I used the 920 once in a serious contest 
effort, and was pleasantly surprised.  Several serious contesters I know use 
them, and are very happy with them.

The IC-718 is a toy. See the review in July 2000 QST.  Note the comment in the 
review "bear in mind that this radio, like the IC-706, was never intended to 
have high-end "competitive" receive characteristics".

In this same price range, consider the TS-850S.

73,
Steve, N2IC
